General safety instructions

Warning! When using electric tools, basic safety precautions, including the following, should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and
personnal injury. Read all these instructions before operating this product and save these instructions. For safe operations:
1. Work area
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b. Consider work area environment. Do not expose power tools to rain. Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep work area well lit. Do not use
power tools where there is risk to cause fire or explosion.
c. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gasses or dust. Power tools create sparks which may
ignite the dust of fumes.
d. Keep children away. Do not let vistors touch the tool or extension cord. All visitors should be kept away from area.
2. Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs which earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Guard against electric shock. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock. Always use tool in conjunction with a residual circuit breaker device.
3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
e. Use clamps or a vice to hold working items. It's safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the tool. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle tools. When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry, high or locked up place, out of reach of children.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools opera-
tion. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Use the right tool. Do not force small tools or attachments to do the job of a heavy duty tool. Do not use tools for purpose not intended; for example, do not
use circular saws to cut tree limbs or logs.
g. Damaged switches must be replaced at a customer service repair centre. Do not use power tools that cannot be switched on and off.
h. Do not leave power tools unattended while they are switched on. Always switch off the tool and wait until it has come to a full standstill before leaving.
i. If the mains cable has been damaged, it must be replaced with a special mains cable. These can be obtained from the manufacturer or the manufacturer's
customer service department. The mains cable may only be replaced by the manufacturer, the manufacturer's customer service department or equally qual-
ified persons.
5. Service
a. Please use a qualified expert who uses original replacement parts to repair your power tool. This will ensure proper functioning of the power tool.
b. Caution! The use of any accessories or additional tools other than those recommended in this manual may lead to an increased risk of injury. Only use original
replacement parts.
